make a fucking layup and get a fucking rebound

[The Tower 369]

well this one is done. 

[Roofle 291]

Curry is such a fucking arrogant child.

[TexArcher 38075]

Offensive?!?!?!?

Sad that he got Durant to keep him relevant and highly paid. He's such a turd. Who else in NBA history has ever thrown a tantrum and spit out his pacifier to throw at a referee and miss? Hit a fan with it, in the finals lol.

[BigOrange1 6471]

if i'm dantoni i'd dust off ryan anderson for the first few minutes of the 4th quarter to see if he can hit a 3 or two and maybe find his shot a little.

[TexArcher 38075]

And put Nene in to antagonize Draymond into a suspension.

[Orca of Peace 109]

Nene is the answer

wtf does reggie miller know about being mvp?

[YChang 3462]

Okie dokaaaaaay... time to look forward to game 4. 

[Orca of Peace 109]

ML was -350.  Easiest payout ever.  Wish texas has a local legal place for easy in easy out. 

[BigOrange1 6471]

how many technicals is that for draymond now?

oh, still has 4 more to go. 

[BigOrange1 6471]

why are any of the good players still out there?

[ChickenSandwich 9853]

Rockets gave up when they realized it was 8-5. The NBA has got to do something to clean up the officiating. It just leads to such shitty games. Not tough enough to play through it. But the third quarter officiating was an abortion. 

[ChickenSandwich 9853]

Harden needs to stay in front of his man when he is on defense.Insert other media

Yup. Once the players realize what the outcome is going to be based on the officiating they just go through the motions. It was pretty clear in the first quarter what was up. 

Not that it's a good excuse or anything but these guys are human. 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Shut up about Joe Johnson damn commentators.  He's not going to be the difference maker

[hookem48 4703]

stop blaming the refs, when your offense is nothing but shooting threes you damn well better make them.

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Well at least our 40 point loss to the Mavs in game 7 is no longer our biggest margin of loss. 

[TexArcher 38075]

I'm trying to convince myself that a 41-point loss counts the same as a 1-point loss.

That shit ain't working.

[BigOrange1 6471]

all that matters is tuesday.

[PW119 167]

He’s incredibly lazy on D. Just watches people go by - might try to poke the ball from behind. MVP? OK I guess. But he’s just a scorer.

Ass

[HtownHorn 14786]

Damn missed so many bunnies. Going to have to play much harder Tuesday. I liked that we were attacking early, but got to finish through contact. Thought the officiating was hopeless one sided in the 1st half. Any touch was a foul on Houston.

Edited May 21, 2018 by HtownHorn

[Planet Houston 4930]

The offense was back to the Game 1 shittiness of pounding the air out of the ball until the end of the shot clock. Iso is fine if you get into it early and get the ball moving if the first man is beat off the dribble. 

Then we missed a billion layups and gave up.

This system should be renamed to "27 seconds or less"

Fucking Dumbtoni needs to get his head out of his ass and go back to what works. When Reggie Miller states the fucking obvious you know we have a coaching problem

Totally agree.  I used to root for the guy, but he's become a self-absorbed shit. 

[Rockethorn1978 6107]

Well that game last night reminded me why the rockets won’t ever win a title. How they came into last night and went back to playing soft and taking a game off is mind blowing. The rest of this series will play out like this In my head.

game 4- rockets play harder but lose by 7

game 5- rockets win at home by 10

game 6- rockets blown out by 20+

 

that felt like the mavs winning by 40 and us not caring. I always thought we would lose this series but losing by 41 after a great win is unbelievable

Reggie is a fucking clown and has been all series. He cited the "hand is part of the ball" rule last night on a play where Harden was hit on the wrist after the ball was released on a jumpshot. Dude never knows when to shut the fuck up.

[Slacks 6865]

I'm gonna say it...

Last night, while watching the game, I thought to myself, "Ay, Self... I thought they said we didn't want Carmelo because he's a ball stopper...  this MF'er Harden is ball stopping af, right now..."

Nobody was really moving, though, so it didn't matter much.

bovada? ML is -480 for game 4 with Iguodala doubtful.

[Rockethorn1978 6107]

So tonight we will see the motivated, tough, defensive minded Rockets? or will we see the Rockets that know they have zero shot to win the series and believe that narrative so they check out and quit? 

I still think we lose 4-2 and that's IF we play like we give a fuck.

[Bobby Light 76]

Goes without saying that if we don't get back home court advantage tonight, we are toast. If they win tonight then we win in 7

Either way, you are going to find out what this team is made of tonight.

Well the story has moved on from is Curry still hurt, to what does this mean for CP3s legacy. I think the Rockets have a chance to steal this one if KD has an off night. 

Mike Callahan, Kane Fitzgerald, Derrick Stafford

[Rockethorn1978 6107]

I’m still so pissed after last game, how the fuck do you lose by 41 after tying the series up at 1-1 and your head coach is actually uttering the words “we played soft tonight”. Anyone that thinks we are winning this series is insane. 

Iggy going down is about the only open door we have winning at the oracle. 

Mom posting the biggest reverse jinx post ever too so I’m hoping this works but I doubt it.

[Dutchrudder 11152]

It's one game. You have to win 4 of 7, even if you have a negative margin for the series, just win 4 and you're golden. Gotta bounce back tonight though, we don't have any more Josh Smith's to pull us out of a 3-1 deficit. 

[BigOrange1 6471]

1. dont turn the ball over.

2. don't miss fucking layups.

3. rebound.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8822]

just showed hakeem is in the house...that must be a sign

[TexArcher 38075]

48 hours ago I said if we could just get a split at Oracle, we'd win this series.

That's still true no matter how fucking awful Game 3 was.

Come on, fellas.  This is the season tonight.  Play like the best team in the NBA for two hours.

[BigOrange1 6471]

let's goooooooo!

[BigOrange1 6471]

missed layup #1.
